 Okay. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our class. We see two on four on developing the human spirit. And we're going to, let's take a moment to pray, and then we will get started with our class. I'm sure the others will join in. I'm sorry for the delay in putting the link to the class. It was a little delayed doing that. So let's pray, and then we will start. Could somebody lead us in prayer, please? Thank you for this morning. Lord, we humble ourselves before you once again. We submit this class into your mighty hands. We pray that you would teach us, you would lead us in your direction, and you would be able to follow and help us to understand the desires of your heart and move according to your spirit, Lord. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. So we're going to continue from where we paused last week. Let me just go ahead and share the PDF that we were using. We are in lesson number four, and we're talking about how the human spirit affects our soul and body. That means what we are experiencing spiritually in our spirit, in our spirit, whatever we're experiencing there, has an effect on our mental or emotional self and also on our physical self, the body. So we are going to just run through several points that we see in the Bible. I'll highlight it. We may not have time to delve into everything in depth, but we can easily see from these scriptures that there are different kinds of things that we feel in the spirit, what you feel spiritually, and what you feel spiritually then affects how you feel emotionally and physically. And so we will just kind of do a survey of scripture and see all this. To get started, we saw in page, very first one page, lesson number four. We saw there's the anguish of spirit. That means there is that feeling of anguish, brokenness being crushed in the spirit, and therefore then people respond in a certain way. Like they would not listen to Moses or the soul was feeling better. So you can see anguish of the spirit and you can see what this person was feeling in the soul, bitter in the soul, and therefore their behavior was complaining. So here Job is going through this, he's crushed in the spirit, his soul is feeling bitter, and so now this is the expression. So you see the connection there. I like this, we'll see several things where you can see some people, their spirit can be against God. It is for whatever reason, and even today when we meet some people, they could be angry against God, they could be hard against God. The spirit could be angry. People are angry inside and then out of that anger, they could do certain things. We saw in Acts 20-22, Paul being bound in the spirit, that means he's feeling something in his spirit. He's feeling tightness, restrained. He's not feeling freedom and liberty. And there's actually the Holy Spirit telling him, hey, when you go to Jerusalem, there are going to be things happening there. You're going to be killed, basically you're going to be caught or arrested by the Jewish people. In Job 17-1, Job says, my spirit is broken. That means he's feeling broken inside, in his spirit. And then he feels like, okay, I'm ready to die. So you can imagine, and this is something very important, if people give up inside, then they have no more will to live, no more will to fight to live. Last time we said, brokenness can be expressed in different ways. Sometimes we humble ourselves before God. So we go before God with the broken and contrite spirit. Sometimes the spirit is broken because there is sorrow, there is grief. It could happen for many reasons, but typically you find that when somebody has lost a loved one, they're grieving and the sorrow of the heart sometimes we put them in a place where they're broken. Some people are strong, they'll go on, but some people, it affects them very badly. And what happens to a broken spirit? It says, Proverbs 72, a broken spirit dries the bones. So that means it affects the person physically. Whereas if the spirit of man is strong, it can carry him through sickness, even through difficult health conditions it can't eat through. So we see that, how the strength of the spirit can affect half a person's journey through life. We see that there is what the Bible refers to in Isaiah 61, the spirit of heaviness. That means the spirit is weighed down. It's under burden. We commonly refer to this as depression. The inner person is depressed. They are feeling under burden, and they're low, they're down. But God says, I want you to praise, even as an antidote to the spirit of heaviness. You can be a calm spirit. That means, it says in Proverbs 17, 27, a man of understanding is of a calm spirit, just maintaining composure, and therefore he is able to control his words and walk with understanding. We can be compelled in spirit. That means from within, we are propelled into action. The spirit within us says, you have to do something. It moves us into action, which is a good thing if it's for doing what the Lord calls us to do. We can be people who are of a different spirit because we are bold, we are courageous. Think about Caleb, Numbers 14-24. Everybody around was in unbelief, but Caleb said, I can go do it. Let's go. We can conquer these giants. He was of a different spirit. That's a good thing in that context. We can have a spirit that is seeking God. With my spirit within me, I will seek God early. This is a spirit that is desiring, seeking, hungry for God. Even our desire for God comes from our hearts, from within us. Sometimes we can err, have error in spirit. That means our spirit has gone astray because of a lack of understanding because we have not been taught the right things. Isaiah 29-24 talks about those who are in error in spirit. But then the antidote to that is for us to receive understanding and to learn doctrine, to learn the right things. We can be of an excellent spirit. Like we see in the case of Daniel, he was a man who was of an excellent spirit. That means he did things that were very good, that made him outstanding in how he conducted himself and his work and so on. So we see that. From inside you want to do what is of excellence, that can be noticed. Now we have people who are of a faithful spirit. These people are loyal. They are faithful. Whether they are faithful to God or faithful to us, that's important. Malachi says, we shouldn't, you just take heed to your spirit and that is what's over the inside, what's going on inside so that you don't deal treacherously. That means unfaithfully. So that's important there. Faithfulness is also from the spirit that in your heart you're committed to be loyal, to be faithful. It's there in scripture. We can also be fervent in spirit. That means very zealous in spirit. So you'll find people from the inside. They are full, you know, fully eager to serve God. And the Bible says we have to be fervent. That means you're always burning. We say, you know, that person is very zealous for the Lord. He's fervent in spirit. That zeal is from inside. They're really passionate about serving God. We could be grieved in the spirit. That means, you know, the spirit itself is feeling sorrowful. It's feeling, it's grieving. It's within and grieving in spirit. So we see that as an example. And then of course that affects the body. So you can, and Jesus grown in the spirit when he saw the unbelief and saw the people, you know, troubled and disturbed at the death of Lazarus. So in the spirit, he was disturbed, moved. Spirit could also be hardened about Pharaoh. It says he will harden his heart and become stubborn in his heart. That means you're refusing to change. And sometimes, and we see some many reasons there. It's because of pride being lifted up. So people can be stubborn inside and unwilling to change. But in contrast, we can also be humble in spirit. And so being hot in spirit, it can be humble in spirit and of a humble spirit, a lowly spirit. It means walking in humility. So that's also something that comes from within us in our spirit. Let's quickly go through the rest. We could get impatient or hasty in spirit. We could be stirred up in our spirit. Ezekiel calls it as being in the heat of the spirit. That means he's really stirred up inside. We could be inspired in the spirit that God imparts truth. He makes us no wisdom in the spirit through inspiration. We can have a spirit that is searching and seeking. He says, my spirit makes diligent search. The spirit is searching out, looking for answers. Definitely, I'm going very fast. I hope you can follow. Anyway, you can look at the notes afterwards. We can feel overwhelmed in spirit. We could... I see my spirit was overwhelmed within me. These are things that you feel in the spirit. He says, my spirit fails. I feel like giving up. I feel like quitting. We can be patient in spirit. We can be perceiving in spirit. I mean, spirit is also seeing, understanding. We can be pure in spirit where there is no deceit. We can be revived in our spirit when it was refreshed in our spirit. Spirit was refreshed. I'm just pointing out various things. We can rejoice in the spirit. Spirit rejoices. We can have a spirit that is strong and governs us. Self-governing, self-control comes from our spirit. We have a spirit that is steadfast or firm, resolute. We can have a spirit that is stirred up. God can stir us up. That is really, you know, move us in our spirit, move us into action. We can be provoked, agitated or even stirred into action in the spirit. We can be strong in the spirit, strong in our inner man. There are several examples of that. As we saw earlier, we can also be disturbed in our spirit where sometimes the spirit becomes anxious or the spirit is troubled in a negative sense. In one sense, you know, it is moved into action. It's a positive thing. But in another sense, it can be troubled or disturbed more so of not knowing what to do and so on. It can be troubled in spirit, no rest in my spirit. And our spirit can be willing. You know, that means the spirit is ready, ready to do what is required, but then the flesh could, you know, be not yet ready and so we have to live out of the spirit. So we went through all of these things very quickly. What I want to highlight is our human spirit can actually have all these experiences. You know, that means our human spirit could feel broken or be crushed or be hurt, be troubled or be disturbed or it can be a place where God moves us, he provokes us, he inspires us, he gives us truth and wisdom and so on. So we see, you know, good things can happen in our spirit where God is speaking to us, leading us, guiding us, truth is being imparted. We can also see that bad things could happen, you know. And so having an understanding of this is important because we realize that the condition of our spirit then impacts our soul and body and how you feel emotionally, physically, it's affected by how you are in the spirit, right? So our goal, therefore, is to maintain a strong, healthy, wholesome spirit, you know. So the key is, the key is, as Props 4, 22 says, God your heart with all diligence for out of it come the issues of life. Now, Props 4, 23, God your heart. Oh, it was 22, sorry. God your heart with all diligence because out of it come the forces that shape your life or the issues of life. So our goal is to take care of our heart or our spirit very carefully, right? So God your heart, make it a priority, right? So practically how does that happen? I'll give some example. Suppose, you know, people say something, it hurts you. Immediately your thing must be, hey, I must prevent my spirit from getting hurt, you know. I must not let what that person said or what that person did to affect my heart. We have no way to control what that person said or did or their behavior. No, we have no way to control that. You know, what they say is up to them, how they behave is up to them. But what we do have control over is, we can prevent what they have said or done from hurting our spirit. You know, that is very important. You say, hey, I am going to guard my heart. I am not going to let what somebody said or did hurt me inside. You know, I'm going to prevent, protect my heart. I'm not going to let this get into my heart because I know that the condition of my spirit will affect me emotionally and physically. If I let what they say affect hurt me in my spirit, then I am going to be an injured person. So think about, you know, if somebody is physically injured, you know, examples. Suppose we get physically injured, that means like we are not comfortable. We can't do certain things. Even if I cut my little finger here or put a little bandaid here, you know, first, I won't be able to use this finger for some time. But you know, I'm not so free and I feel the pain. It's, you know, it becomes a little difficult thing. So just as that's just a natural example. But if the spirit is hurt, if the spirit is wounded, then it affects the whole person, you know. So we are to guard our heart with all diligence. So in life, we are going to go through various experiences. You know, there will be experiences that bring sorrow, grief, trouble, challenge, hurt, all kinds of things. Life, you know, life, you're going through life and all these things are happening around us. But we must guard our heart because you know, the condition of your spirit will affect your soul and your body and it'll affect even how we relate to God. You know, so protect your heart from everything that is negative. You know, protect your heart from any form of jealousy, any form of bitterness, any form of anger, even any form of pride, arrogance, all these things, right? We have to guard our heart. And if we can keep our heart pure, guard it and keep it pure, Jesus put it like this, you know, blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God. So if we keep our heart pure, we're going to be able to have more and more revelation of God. We can see God clearly. You know, if my heart is being affected by, you know, like we said, maybe it's hurt by what so and so said what this person did or jealousy or pride or anger all these negative things, what happens? It blurs my vision of God. I can't see God properly and clearly through what I'm, life situations, right? So protecting your heart, keeping your heart pure is so important, you know? And one way that I find very useful is in the morning when I wake up, go before God and pray, my first thing is I want to clear my heart, you know? If there is anything, I'm not saying it happens every day, but every now and then when something happens, my first thing is God created me a clean heart, renew a right spirit in me, like how David prayed. So we also pray, Lord, created me a clean heart. Renew a right spirit in me, you know? Because I understand the importance of keeping my heart, my spirit clean, strong, healthy, pure, because if I can keep my spirit clean, strong, healthy, pure, it is going to take care of my soul and my body, you know? So that is very important. And we need to, you know, the best thing to do is go before God and say, Lord, I want my heart to be clean, right? So we also evaluate our own selves. So God, is there any jealousy in me? Is there any pride in me? Oh God, take it out. I don't want the smallest trace of jealousy. I don't want the smallest trace of pride. I don't want the smallest trace of arrogance or hypocrisy. I don't want the smallest trace in my heart. Created me a clean heart. Maintain, help me to maintain a right spirit. If I can do that, a lot of things will be taken care of. So understand, understand this important truth and always maintain strong, healthy, wholesome spirit within you, right? And the other aspect here I just mentioned, 2 Corinthians 4-17 is, you know, do not lose heart. So that means when things, there will be challenges. There will be things that challenge our faith in God, our trust in God. But we keep our heart full of strength. Keep your inner man strong. Feeding it with a word, feeding it in prayer. Keep your inner man strong so that even though the outward man is growing old, the inward man is being renewed, right? So the inward man is recharging its strength day after day, even though outward man is decaying. Now, having said that, I want to point us to a couple of things. One is, you must understand the importance of words. That words affect our spirit, the human spirit. Proverbs 15-4 says, A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. That means, he's saying, if there is a perverse tongue, or let's say, a wholesome tongue, that's a healthy tongue, is a tree of life. It gives life to the whole person. But if the tongue itself is wicked, crooked, it's not straight, it's not right, then it crushes the spirit. That means words affect our spirit. The words we hear, and even the words we speak are our own ears here. So there are words that people speak to us. So we need to protect ourselves. Don't let those words get into your heart if they are wrong words. If they're healthy, encouraging godly words, you just see. But when people speak things, don't let it get into your heart because it says it can break the spirit, those words. So we have to guard ourselves. When people are saying things, they may say, even in jest, as a joke, they might say something. But if you're not careful, those words, those words which they were saying in a joke, or jokingly, can get into somebody's heart and just break their spirit. Or we have to be careful with our own words. Our own words can break our own spirit, meaning if I keep speaking words of defeat, if I keep speaking words that say, oh, I cannot do anything, I'm a useless fellow, I cannot, I have no strength, I'm breaking my own spirit. Because the Bible says crooked words can break the spirit. So I must have a wholesome tongue. I need to have a tongue that speaks healthy words, good words. Then it will be a trio life to my own self. It will strengthen my own self. So understand this very important principle, the principle of words and how words affect our spirit. And therefore, two things. We ourselves can speak wholesome words. And we also have to be careful on what words we entertain into our hearts. If we entertain the wrong words and let it get inside us, it can destroy our spirit. So be very careful when you listen to people and what they're saying. Last section here is very interesting. And that is the human spirit is compared in the Bible using different analogies. That means the Bible is saying the spirit of man is like this. And it's giving us a comparison. So we've tried to list down some of those things. First, we see the spirit of man is like a house. So a house means it is where someone lives. It's a dwelling place. So our spirit is like a house. Or we can say a temple. So the human spirit is a dwelling place. And it's designed to be a dwelling place for the Lord, for God himself. So it's a place of habitation. Now, it could be inhabited by evil spirits or it could be inhabited by the Holy Spirit. So in Genesis 4.7, God tells Cain, Cain, sin is waiting at your door and it's trying to get in. So this is sin personified. That means it's an unclean spirit and evil spirit. And in this case, it's really a spirit of murder. It's waiting to get into him, Cain. And we know what happened when Cain got angry. That whole spirit of murder was waiting to get into him. And eventually it did. And he went and murdered his brother, Abel. But at that point, God was warning him. He said, Cain, sin is at the door. Sin is at the door. It's waiting to get in. Matthew 12, Jesus explains how an evil spirit is dwelling inside a person. When it is cast out, it goes and gets seven other wicked spirits, comes back. It sees the house clean. So that means the spirit of man is like a house. And it's now, in this particular case, it's being inhabited by evil spirits. But the good side is our spirit is inhabited by the Holy Spirit himself as believers. So God, the Holy Spirit is dwelling in us. Christ dwells in our hearts by faith. And so the spirit is a house. That's how we can say, oh God, fill me. Oh God, dwell in me. Oh God, why? Your spirit is like a house. You want God to just fill the house. God, make yourself comfortable. We want you. God, we just want you to inhabit me, fill me. So you're praying like that. Why? Our spirit is like a house. Second, we see in the Bible that the spirit is like a lamp. Again, these are comparisons, analogies that God uses. It tells us something. What does a lamp do? A lamp gives light to guide us. So the spirit of man is like a lamp. Proverbs 20, 27 says, the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. The spirit of man is a candle of the Lord. So when you light a candle, okay, you put a candle there, you want light in the room, you light the candle. So Proverbs 22 and 7 says, the spirit of man is a candle of the Lord and he lighteth it. That means God. He strikes the match, he gives the light to that candle. Psalm 18, 28, the Lord will light my candle. Psalm 18, 28, God himself will enlighten. So the spirit of man is like a candle or a lamp. And those who are old today, we might say it's like a torchlight or something that gives light from which we get clarity and guidance and direction. So your spirit is a lamp that God enlightens in order to give us direction. So very interesting. What must we do when we need guidance? Remember, the lamp is inside you. The candle is inside you. You say, God, it's so dark. I can't see. I need some light. Okay. Candle is inside you. Now, of course, one is, thy word is a lamp unto my feet. Right? So look into the word of God. His word is a lamp unto my feet, a light to my pot. That's important. Second, your own spirit. The Holy Spirit is going to light up the lamp. Right? So that's another place where you and I are going to receive guidance. The human spirit is like a lamp. That means in that place, in your spirit, God is going to guide you. That's why Romans 8, 16. Spirit bears witness with our spirit. Holy Spirit is going to light up our spirit. He's going to bear witness. He's going to give us guidance in our spirit. So when we need guidance, first we go to the word of God. Second, look into the spirit. Your spirit. Because your spirit is a candle. God will give you light there to give you guidance. Spirit is like a lamp. The third thing we see in the Bible is that the spirit is a place of deposit. So in modern way, if you want to think about it, it's like a bank account. It's a place of deposit. We see this in Matthew 12, 34 and 35. Jesus says, a good man out of the good treasure of his heart. That means he's got a good deposit in his heart. So the heart is a place of deposit. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart will bring forth good things. An evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart will bring forth evil things. And then Jesus also said, out of the abundance of the heart. What you've got deposited there, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So the heart is the place where we deposit treasure, where we put things. And what we put there in our heart will then influence our life. So Jesus went from where it is in that same passage. From where does a man do evil things, all the evil things he does. Where does it come from? It comes from his heart. But then the positive is also true. From where do all the good things come from? Well, it comes from the person's heart. If the person has got good deposit in their heart, then good things will begin to come out. So what we deposit in our heart will then begin to come forth in our life. It'll come forth in our word. It'll come forth in our deed. So deposit, a place of deposit. So we are sick. Analogies of the human spirit. It's giving us some insight how we should deal with our spirit. It's a house. It's a place of God's habitation. It's a lamp. It's a place of God's instruction. It's a place of deposit. It's a place where God is going to pour out where we should desire for God to pour out his revelation, his knowledge, his wisdom and his truth. Because that is what we want to come out of our lives. Right. So the heart is a place of deposit. Let me pause and see if everybody's following me. I've been going very fast. Is everybody following me? It's possible. Okay, good. It's possible. Okay. Thank you. I was just talking continuously. I just wanted to make sure you're with me. So let's go forward. Thank you. All right. So the heart is a place of deposit. Another interesting thing is the heart is a spring. This is in Prowse 4, 20 to 22. You know, God is telling in Prowse 4, he says, My son, attend to my words, Incline a year to my sayings, Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them the midst of your heart. For their life for those who find them health to all their flesh. Verse 23, Guard your heart with all diligence, For out of it come the forces or comes the issues that the issues of life. Or it's the place where the matters of life spring out of. So the picture there is like a spring that flows out into your life. So where does it come from? So it's guard your heart. For out of it spring the forces that shape your life. So if I guard my heart, make sure my heart is clean. Make sure that what I'm putting into my heart is good. Then the spring that comes out will be good. The forces that shape my life will be good. So think about this. Your heart is a spring. And what is in your heart is what's going to shape your life. Not the forces around you. You know, this was very encouraging to me, especially in my early years. There'll be all kinds of things around me, right? But I would tell myself, you know, what is really shaping my life? It's not all these things around me. Of course there is all these factors around me. But what God has said, that really shapes my life is what is springing out of my heart. So if I just focus on that, if I just focus to make sure that what is coming out of my heart is good, my life is going to be shaped with good things. You know, of course around me there could be all kinds of things happening which are outside of my control. You know, we don't control how people behave, what the politicians say and what government does and what people do. We don't control all those things. What we do have control over is what springs out of our heart. And that is what finally shapes our lives. Because Jesus said, Proverbs 4.23 says, out of your heart come the spring, springs of life. Or it comes the waters that shape your life, out of your heart. You know? So that's an important thing. The spirit is compared to a spring. Another thing, very interesting is the spirit is compared to a womb. John 7.37 to 39. In verse 39 Jesus says, Jesus says, out of his innermost being some versions will translate that out of his belly will flow rivers of living water. And very interesting, we look up that word in the Greek, which, you know, like we said, in the English is translated innermost being or belly. In the Greek, one of the meanings of that word is it is the womb, out of the womb. And then it says, you're talking about the heart. So the heart is like a womb. It's like the place where we give birth and bring forth. So that means the things that we birth in life are first born, conceived and built up and nurtured in our spirit. And that is a very important truth also. If I can conceive and I can develop in my spirit, then I can birth it into my life because your spirit is like a womb. So I go back to this thing. What do I want to birth? Well, if I want to birth something, then I make sure I go through the conception and, you know, the development process in the womb of my spirit. And when that happens and when I'm ready, I can birth it because the spirit is like a womb. So we engage with the Holy Spirit. We engage with the word of God because it is God who will birth it in our spirit. It's God who will form it in our spirit. It's of course taking place in a spiritual manner. But God is shaping it and then at the right time He causes it to come forth and it is released on the earth. So any work that God wants us to do, any ministry, any work, any, you know, whatever we want to birth in this world for the kingdom of God, it should first be born in the womb of our spirit through the word of God and through the Holy Spirit. And then it develops in our spirit and then we release it into the earth. So the spirit is like a womb and that is where God begins to form his work and release it. A few other things. We also see that the spirit is like a ground. We saw this in the parable of the sova. So the sova shows the word and the word falls on the heart. So the heart is like a field or a ground where we can sow seed and reap a harvest. Now very again, I want to emphasize it, nobody can stop that. If we want to receive a harvest of any kind of harvest, we just sow the seed and nurture it. Where? In our spirit. So if you want to receive a seed, example for healing, a seed for God's provision, a seed for whatever the harvest, sorry, whatever the harvest we need, now we know how to do it. Your heart is the ground. You sow the seed, you water it, you nurture it, you will have the harvest and nobody can stop that. Two more things. The heart are like tables in which things can be written. Paul said, you are an episode written by us, not on tables of stone, but on tables of the flesh written by the spirit. That means if you want in modern language, we can say our heart is the paper on which God writes by his Holy Spirit. That means it is in our spirit that truth and revelation is written. So when we are ministering to people, our desire is that the truth of God be written in their hearts, not just in their minds, in their minds, of course, they have to understand it. But we want to go beyond the mind and we want it to be written in the heart. So what is written indelibly in your spirit is what is going to stay with you for life. So we must receive the word into our hearts. We must let God's truth be written in our hearts. That will stay with us for life. And finally, I know I'm running against time here, but we also see that the human spirit is like a vessel. A vessel means it's a container. It's a container. We can only pour out what God has poured in. We can only pour out, we can only give to others what we have let God pour into us. So as a vessel, we go before God and say, God pour into my spirit. Then we are able to pour that out to other people. So we're going to pause here and I want us to take some time. Just think about these things. Reflect on this. Your spirit is like a house. God dwells there. Your spirit is like a lamp. God gives you guidance and instruction, revelation there. Your spirit is like a place of deposit. If you deposit the word of God there and you can draw out of it, it'll come into your life. Your spirit is like a spring from which the waters that shape your life come. Your spirit is like a womb. Whatever you want to give birth to, it has to be formed and developed there. Your spirit is like a ground or field. Whatever harvest you want, you can sow water and nurture and reap from there. Your spirit is like a writing pad. That's where God writes and it will stay with you for life. Your spirit is like a vessel. Whatever you are full of, you can pour out into others. So our spirit is so important. Yeah. Ken? All right. Anybody? Sorry, I took the whole time. Okay. Okay, I hope you would take some time to reflect on this and so we can present ourselves and take care of our spirit from there, God will do a powerful work. Okay, let's close and pray for today. May somebody please lead us and pray and we can close. Let's pray. Father, we come to you under the name of Jesus. We thank you for this day. We thank you for your beautiful spirit that you have given us. We thank you for the Holy Spirit. God, you are amazing. The way you have created us, the way you have thought about us, every single thought of yours is amazing. God, we are so thankful that you chased us down. You found this and we know that you are our savior. You are the real God. We thank you a million times and God, as we are studying about our spirit, help us to take care of our spirit. Help us to give you the best place. It's a place where you are living in Jesus. Help us to grow in our spirit each and every day as you did when you were down here on this earth. Help us to God our heart above all else, Lord. Teach us, guide us, tell us which thoughts to take in and which thoughts we should never take into our spirit. Help us to protect our spirit above all else, Jesus. Because what we write on our spirit is going to stay with us forever. Help us to write your words in our heart, Lord. Every single day as we read our Bible, as we meditate on it, help us to sink your words deep into our hearts so that nothing in this life can break us. So that none of the plans of devils will succeed, but we will live an amazing life for you. We will be poured out as a blessing to others. We love you and we thank you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you everyone. Thank you for being on the class and for the rest of your day. We'll see you again soon. Thank you. Thank you both. Thank you.
